Rapper Li’l Jon is being sued for copyright infringement over his 2014 smash hit song “Turn Down for What”.

According to Billboard.com, Golden Crown Publishing filed the legal papers in a New York federal court on Thursday, May 4, alleging DJ Snake and Li’l Jon ripped off the song already recorded by rapper Freddie GZ.

Canadian rapper Drake hosted a star-studded Halloween bash at STORY Nightclub on Miami Beach last night. Celebrity photographer Thad of Exclusiveaccess.net was there to capture all the excitement. Drake, center, is pictured above with E Class, left, and music producer Timbaland.

Picture this: you and your new woman (or man, after all, this is Atlanta) are planning a cozy evening together. You plan to cook dinner with wine served chilled. You just met her (or him) so you are anxious to impress with your culinary skills and your expert taste in wine.

But just as the two of you sit down to eat, she points to the wine and says, “honey, does this bottle say Little Jonathan Winery?” You answer, “yeeeeaaahhhhhhh!” 5 minutes later, you’re all alone in your apartment sipping your chilled Lil Jon Merlot straight from the bottle.

TVT Records, home to artists such as Lil Jon, Pitbull, Ying Yang Twins, Yo Gotti (pictured above) and Teedra Moses, became another casualty of the steady decline in Hip Hop record sales yesterday. According to online reports, the label filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and fired most of its staff.

The writing has been on the wall for awhile now – Lil’ Jon packed up and deserted camp for Los Angeles last year, and Pitbull expressed his dissatisfaction with the promotion his CD Boatlift received. But the news still surprised some including the artists like Teedra Moses who is seeking a new label home.

Sources close to TVT Records revealed that artists like Yo Gotti and Teedra are free to seek contracts with other labels. “Yo Gotti is a prime candidate as a free agent to go…He’s done his part as an artist, and although he’s a little under the radar and people in New York don’t know him that well, other majors like maybe Def Jam or Universal, whom he had a previous deal with, might want to pick him up,” revealed the source.

This morning, a slew of “last day at TVT” emails went out to most of the industry – including Sandrarose.com. One email’s author, considered a head honcho at TVT, wrote:

Today is my last day at TVT Records. After six years, I will be moving on to pursue new opportunities. It has been a pleasure and I sincerely appreciate all your support, guidance, and encouragement…
